Xavi Simons

It's been a bit of a rollercoaster on here lately but I'm very happy with this signing. I haven't been following this guy at all, as I only just knew him as a wonderkid/highly-rated young player at Leipzig that would eventually be bought by a bigger club. Didn't expect that club to be us as I thought he would go to one of the top-tier teams like PSG/Bayern. Heard he had a quiet year last season but that would be like judging our own players after last season.

Anyway, I hope he loves it here and that he has good chemistry with the rest of the squad, since it seems he has the skill.
 
I feel the way the clubs social media is done that they definitely look to see what the fans are saying online.

It's not inconceivable to be in for multiple targets simultaneously. Don't you think the club (any big club, really) is constantly assessing any option out there? There might be a hierarchy of preferred players, but maybe top 2-3 are good options and rest are smoke screens.

Bit like Kudus and Palhinha. Had they had a stormer of a season we probably wouldn't have been able to sign them.

Identifying those players who are really good, but for whatever reason not playing to their full potential smis probably important to us for where we are.

According to some of the experts on the internet we're just wasting time on dead ends when we should be moving on to the next option and there's no plan to what we're doing. In fact, the entire transfer team should be sacked immediately. That was on Wednesday anyway, haven't checked today.

Still seen takes that this was a lucky outcome and on the club's side we got away with it despite poor planning and execution.

And hey, that could be the case. But how could we know?
